The image depicts a sketch of an elderly man, shown from head to toe. The man stands in a leaning position with crossed arms on a slightly inclined surface. Details of age are seen in his face, with distinct lines and curly hair. He is dressed in a long coat, loose-fitting trousers, and lace-up shoes. The background is plain.
